SigmaXi, the Scientific Research Society, is an international honorary research society with 70,000 members worldwide.
SigmaXi members can be found in virtually every branch of academia, government and industry, and are active in a broad range of activities from local science fairs to deciding issues of political importance relating to research.
SigmaXi also publishes American Scientist six times a year and holds annual forums on topical scientific research issues such as scientific ethics and the future of federal funding for research.
SigmaXi membership benefits include a subscription to the award-winning American Scientist and eligibility to apply for SigmaXiresearch grants for their graduate and undergraduate students.
SigmaXi grants financial awarded to students of Eastern Illinois University and hosts the annual SigmaXi banquet as part of ScienceFest at Eastern Illinois University.
The goal of SigmaXi is to promote the health of the scientific enterprise and honor scientific achievement.
SigmaXi sponsored an undergraduate to attend the 2007 SigmaXi Student Research Conference Nov. 2-3 in Orlando, Florida.
The Oakland Universitychapter of SigmaXi is supported by funding from the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and by the members of SigmaXi.
SigmaXi (Xi is pronounced with a "Z" sound-"Zi"-as in "xylophone") was founded in 1886 to honor excellence in scientific investigation and encourage a sense of companionship and cooperation among researchers in all fields of science and engineering.
Today, SigmaXi is an international, multidisciplinary research society whose programs and activities promote the health of the scientific enterprise and honor scientific achievement.
SigmaXichapters, more than 500 in all, can be found at colleges and universities, industrial research centers and government laboratories.
Founded in 1886, its goals are to foster worldwide interactions among science, technology, and society; to encourage appreciation and support of original work in science and technology; and to honor scientific accomplishments.
Since 1922 SigmaXi has invested in the future of science by awarding small research grants annually to graduate and undergraduate students.
While membership in SigmaXi is not a requirement for applying for funding from the Grants-in-Aid of Research program, approximately 75% of funds are restricted for use by dues paying student members of SigmaXi or students whose project advisor is a dues paying member of SigmaXi.
Hear just how important SigmaXi's GIAR program is and the effect it has had on young researchers.
Founded in 1886, SigmaXi, The Scientific Research Society is a non-profit membership society of more than 80,000 scientists and engineers who were elected to the Society because of their research achievements or potential.
In addition to publishing American Scientist, SigmaXi awards grants annually to promising young researchers, holds forums on critical issues at the intersection of science and society and sponsors a variety of programs supporting honor in science and engineering, science education, science policy and the public understanding of science.
Charleston Science Network is a listserver maintained by SigmaXi at the national office in Research Triangle Park, NC.
The SigmaXi Forum is a two-day conference that addresses an issue at the crossroads of science and society: ethics, education, public understanding of science or the health of the research enterprise.
The annual meeting also offers an opportunity for the SigmaXi Board of Directors to meet and for delegates to attend to some Society business.
In addition to annual SigmaXi meetings, chapters and partners host events throughout the year that highlight issues that are at the heart of SigmaXi's mission.
WELCOME TO THE MSU CHAPTER OF SIGMAXI Founded in 1886, SigmaXi, The Scientific Research Society is a non-profit membership society of nearly 75,000 scientists and engineers who were elected to the Society because of their research achievements or potential.
The MSU chapter of SigmaXi strives to promote and honor scientific research and teaching at MSU and the surrounding community.
As part of our mission, we sponsor the SigmaXI Student Research Poster Competition, and hold an annual SigmaXI Recognition Banquet for students and faculty.
Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the SigmaXi Postdoc Survey was designed to improve the training and research environments for postdocs by providing a better understanding of their experiences. Survey results are expected to enable research institutions to benchmark their policies and practices against those at peer institutions.
SigmaXi made resources available to each institution to survey their postdocs in an efficient and methodologically sound manner. Through a local survey team, institutions had the opportunity to manage the use of this powerful tool by:
SigmaXi's software is designed to gather survey responses, track participation rates, send out automated e-mail reminders to non-responders and perform data analysis. The accompanying toolkit contains:
The NIST Chapter of SigmaXi announces that the 14th Annual Post-Doctoral Poster Presentation will be held February 16, 2007 in Lecture Rooms A and B and the adjoining hallway in the
All Postdoctoral Fellows and Guest Scientists who have received their advanced degree in the last five years have been invited to present a poster on their scientific research to their NIST coworkers and friends.
All the participating Post-docs and Guest Scientists will be invited to a special reception and lunch hosted by SigmaXi when the award for the most outstanding poster will be announced.
With the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize going to SigmaXi honorary member Al Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it seems appropriate to revisit the Sigma Xi-UN Foundation report "Confronting Climate Change." A summary appeared in May-June American Scientist.
The WGBH Educational Foundation, in association with SigmaXi, has launched a comprehensive Web site to promote the growing Science Café movement.
"SigmaXi Members in the News" provides month-by-month updates of honors, awards, appointments and promotions, along with other items of interest.
Please contact Chapter Officers for information concerning upcoming seminars.
SigmaXi invites our members to extend this announcement to other research oriented faculty that may be interested in becoming members of SigmaXi, and bring promising Midshipmen researchers to our meetings.
The Naval Academy Chapter will take advantage of SigmaXi Headquarter programs to support local high school activities in science and mathematics.
